/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

First

So...cosplay con europe is dead?

>>9661647
>cosplay con europe
nope
http://www.comiccon-europe.com/nl/rotterdam

>>9661653
I was thinking of another one but I threw my shedule away. Eh maybe someone else knows or I'm just confused

Also, I've finally updated the store list. Instead of it being a massive wall of text everything is now placed in an easy to use sortable table. Unfortunately the current table plug-in doesn't allow for links, but it will have to do for now.
You can find the list in all it's glory at https://churi.nl/stores/ and feel free to recommend me any store you feel is missing.

>>9661662
At some point earlier this year Showmasters decided to rename "Rotterdam Comic Con" to "Cosplay Con Europe". As the name implies the idea was to have it focus more on cosplay rather than the overall geek culture both ACC and RCC targets. However other than a single FB event things remained silent until they eventually deleted the event(?) and went back to calling it RCC. I guess they simply couldn't arrange enough cosplay content (yet) to justify calling it a cosplay convention.

>>9661463
It's good to hear you enjoy these threads Anon. Unfortunately rotten apples are everywhere and to be found in any community. Personally I try to stay clear of these people and instead choose to surround myself with people who are fun, honest and challenge me to become a better person. It just makes everything a lot more enjoyable and productive.

anyone going to facts?

I'm trying to finish (read start) my cosplay, but it'll be horrible

>>9661647
Formula cosplay? I was there this year, but I see they haven't updated their site ever since. They still have the previous date listed. (https://fceurope.nl/))

>>9661742
FCE 2017 was a failure. So far I understood the organization are still discussing if they will continue or not. But one of the organizers is also a cosplay photographer, and he is better with making photos than organizing events. Lately he is very active as a photographer, so maybe he decided to focus on photography.

>>9661752
Makes sense. The con is a disappointment.

>>9661752
doesn't help that he has the IQ of a Potato and the language skills of a 2 year old.

I really don't get cosplayers that whine about not feeling comfortable showing parts of their body (stomach for example) and then post bikini pictures on their page.

>>9661778
Can post it even when not comfortable. It's a step for trying to feel more comfortable i guess?

>>9661778
No idea if you're talking about anyone in specific but perhaps it's a control thing? During a private shoot you're in full control over your poses, outfits and most importantly, which pictures you actually share with the world. If you're already self-conscious about say your thighs, you can just share the pictures where they look good and keep all the unflattering ones to yourself. That's simply a luxury you won't have when walking around at a con, not to mention how uncomfortable it might feel showing off that one part of your body at a con.

>>9661766
He has a big network and is kind. Many people like him and want to help him. Or is that because they feel sorry for him?

>>9661778
Fishing for compliments.
>I’m so insecure about my body but here’s a picture of me in a bikini but I feel so ugly UwU
>No you look beautiful and amazing and your body is gorgeous!!!
>rinse and repeat every time she wants an ego boost
I used to follow a Dutch girl on IG who did this at least once a week and it was so annoying, but it worked.

>>9661813
Or they are like some people that do lewds to show their self confidence, but have a shit self esteem and need others to give them a sense of self worth.

>>9661742
>>9661752
>>9661755
>>9661766
He's already planning for FormulaCon 2018, so I've heard. Know a few people who work with him and the organisation so I guess there will be a Formula 2018.

>>9661879
I talked with him a few weeks ago and he said he didn't want to plan an event for a while and was really busy with photography like >>9661752 said

>>9661884
I have the feeling that Gio doesn't know what he really wants. He says that he will organize again, then he says he doesn't. So I will wait and see.

>>9661879
They better fucking update the site then. It's in the same state it was one and a half year ago, still mentioning 2017 edition is coming up

>>9661913
I think this is true.

I actually talked with him last week and he said he was busy with Formula 2018... Hmm..

>>9661927
How they work is very last minute. So don't be surprised that the website isn't up-to-date at all.

>>9661879
>>9661884
>>9661913
>>9661927
>>9661937
>>9661938
I heard something about a next edition during Abunai! He is getting some help from another convention.

Funny that we are talking about Formula Cosplay Europe right now, while after the convention took place not many talked about it.

>>9662587
There wasn't much to talk about haha. Just your average cringe tiny con.

#metoo

>>9661766
Potatoes also have a decent IQ, mind you. If you want to compare him to something let it be a radish or something. Fight the potato discrimination!

>>9662725
#notme

>>9661738
yes on sunday but I'm not doing any sorts of trouble and will just be wearing my kigurumi and probably gonna sit outside most of the time

formula con was pretty disappointing but whats new when it comes to dutch cons
So far the only major cons that don't suck as much as the rest are abunaicon and animecon and they also both, suck.

Any foreign cons dutchies go to that don't suck then?

>>9663514
I've yet to find one. I'm curious as to what makes >>9663488 think Abunai and Animecon suck

>i need my special helper
>god, i can't explain my complex costume to some random contest organiser assistant, i only have 3:30 hours to get dressed before judging afterall!!!
>i got this privilege last year after whining then too, even though it was very clearly explained in the competition mail backstage is for contestants only BUT I NEED MY HELP
>i might not even grace facts with my presence anymore since they won't bend over backwards for me

Who the fuck does this fuck think she is?
You're dressing up as fucking Mercy in a Belgian competition, you'll be fucking fine with the help you'll get backstage.

Shit like this is exactly why I only entered a competition once, being pleasant to people with huge egos is a front I can't fucking keep up.

dutchies please keep your ego-trippers in your own country kthx

>>9663516
I didn't even read the name and I knew who this was about. She's good but a bit awkward backstage.

I mean, I can usually talk to everyone easily but with her it's just like.. I don't know, she seems quite introverted (maybe nervous?) backstage.

Oh well. I always try to make costumes in a way that I can dress myself. I live on my own after all, and I need to do test-fits...

>>9663516
kek, it's obvious in the rules. Rules are rules, girl.
Although not allowing any helpers is kinda weird imo.

>>9663516
Fucking buckteeth horse faced bunny crossbreed thinks anyone would care if she didn't go

>>9663516
>Anyway, the rules are the rules and they apply to everyone, winner or not, "well known" or not.
Gotta love it when people get called out for behaving like an entitled diva. I love you, sober Belgian ex-organiser!

>>9663576
I won the solos in 2014, do I get privileges now? I'd like hot chocolate delivered to me.

>no one shows up
Ok I'll make it myself.

>>9663561
you forgot her poor english capabilities

>>9663516
I love the fact that I can already see who this is about, even with her name censored... She's weird as fuck if you ask me

Time for WIP! My new demon hunter wig is done and it's bigger and better than my previous

>>9663588
Update: I didn't make hot chocolate. I made vodka+coke.

Fuck conformity.

>>9663667

*slow hand clap* Looking good.

>>9663516
I was under the impression that she was invited by FACTS. Because she is doing a meet and greet on sunday.
Guess not.

If only I wouldn't break both my legs I would love to wear these shoes while cosplaying Elise from League Of Legends.

>>9663968
Why would anybody want to meet and greet her?

>>9663725
I like you

>>9664339
No idea

>>9663968
>>9664339
Nah it's a stall. Not FACTS itself, but one of the vendors.

>>9664013
Practice with lower first. Or make your own practice platforms before you buy these

>>9664013
But why would you wear those shoes for Elise?
Her shoes look completely different, I think you're just gonna have a lot of extra trouble for not really more accuracy.
Unless you just want an excuse to wear those shoes then go right ahead.

>>9664488
imo it would make more sence to wear ballerina shoes and stand on your toes for pictures, or just pumps.

>>9664488
Maybe they want to use transparent shoes to actually be able to make that spike she is standing on as well.

>>9664506
That's what I figured.

So after having tried latex and Poly-Prop's SEAL, I'm trying another product, and I'm actually quite impressed so far. I'll be treating Nethergundam with this one. See how that holds up. I hope well enough to take it to a Dutch con after all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0kuCU4ho88

>>9664511
>I hope we'll enough to take it to a Dutch con after all
That would be sweet!

Can anyone recommend some things to do for a sweet lolita in Holland? No museums or something, but like places to eat, shops (besides Summertales)

>>9664701
>In Holland
>Not Summertales
Of course nobody would recommend you Summertales Boutique. That store is in Utrecht you silly Anon!

>>9664712
Holland is a synonym for the Netherlands

>>9664717
I call bait

>>9664701
Groningen has this unicorn café. Don’t know anything else.

>>9664717
Except it isn't. Holland are only North and South Holland. The Netherlands are the country and the Kingdom of the Netherlands consists out of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten. Every adult knows this, although I guess you're too deeply immersed into your little ageplay fetish to remember this.

>>9664745
We literally call your country Holland in my language, there is no other word for it. But whatever, I just want to eat cute things.

>>9664743
Thanks

>>9664745
We literally call your country Holland in my language, there is no other word for it. But whatever, I just want to eat cute things.

>>9664761
Everyone will understand you anyway if you say Holland, that's the most important thing. Personally, the Netherlands just sounds better. But whatever floats your boat.

>>9664743


you mean Lovely Little Living?

>>9664761
What's your language, because most languages can say 'the low lands', like French does.

>>9665392

The Japanese call our country "Oranda" btw

"The Netherlands remained a kingdom after Napoleon’s defeat. At that time, the area called “Holland” made the biggest contribution to the entire nation’s economy and wealth. As such it became the commonly used name to indicate the entire country."

I also think that the fact that many seafarers were from the hollands is also part of the reason why people refer to the netherlands as holland.

Holland, much contribution, such importance.

>>9665414
Well at least the South is now also a massive contributor in the Dutch 'economy'.


(Well..drugs, that is.)

>>9664745
>Every adult knows this
Honestly, do you really think anyone outside of the Netherlands cares enough to know this? Someone's obviously never been much further then Benelux.

>>9665429
>Taking the setup to an age play joke serious
Lighten up will ya?

>>9664638
I know. I can’t bring peak Dutchness everywhere BUT The Netherlands. That just feels like robbing the homeland of it’s dessert. It makes not a lot of sense. It made more sense in my head.

>>9665442
>That just feels like robbing the homeland of it’s dessert.
They may take our lives, but they'll never take our vlaflip!

Lidl airbrush set is great, never been happier with my paintjobs

>>9664488
>>9664013
I think shoes like this would be more accurate if you're going to ruin your feet anyways.

A quick heads up gulls as I seem to have a mistake. Dutch Comic Con was originally announced for November 11th and 12th. However somewhere down the line they changed dates which completely flew under my radar. The correct date is November 18th and 19th. Sorry about the mix-up!

>>9665523
I love these!

>>9665472
Yeah I know right! Now I have an airbrush I'm like: "HOW DID I EVER MANAGE WITHOUT ONE?!"

>>9665523
I already see everybody wearing these fall over.

>>9665523
>>9665651
That's because they're not really made to be walked in. These are literally fetish boots and generally used for photoshoots. Deviantart was full of these a few years back.

>>9665653
I think in that case those horse heel fetish boots might be better. Those are the one where you have to walk on your toes the entire time.

>>9665653
Yeah that's kind of the sad part. I don't want cosplay to be associated with fetishes.

>>9665658
You are dressing as a sexy spider. Own it or go home. Also see though heels are stripper shoes. I think you are better off just adding the points to flats. You can never stand on them anyway, but it might look nice sitting down or if you use something to hold yourself up. Like pretending to be in a web or something.

>>9665523
Who needs ankles anyway

Hi everyone,

This post is slightly late, since it's about the Amsterdam Comic Con. Yet it never struck me that I could ask YOU guys for help!
You see, when attending the con a man in a wheelchair approached me. He had a slightly dark skin, and if I remember correctly he was wearing a cap. I also think something was wrong with his eyes, but I'm not so sure about that.
Anyways, he asked to take a few pictures of me, so I politely accepted. Although I was kind of uneasy about it, since I was dressed casually. He retook some of the photo's, and asked me if I had done modelling before etc., which lead to quite a strange remark.
Eventually, the pictures were taken, and I asked him where I could find them. He said he didn't have a card, but that they'd "appear on Facebook". He also gave me the name of a website that I tried to look up but couldn't find. He showed me his name, which was quite long and kind of difficult?
In the end, I never saw those photo's again, and after our strange encouter, I'd really like to know WHO took them, and how they turned out!

So if any of you know who I'm talking about, please tell me!

I'll greentext some aspects of him if that makes things easier;
>wheelchair
>tanned skin
>lousy eye (?)
>cap
>long, intricate name

Thank you so much!

I just read on the ns site they are selling 3 seperate 'dagretour' tickets for 33 euro, which is a great price for going to a day con, shopping in amsterdam for fabrics etc.

>>9665750
Thanks for that tip!

>>9665690
friendly word of advice: never go to a con alone, it'll largely save you from the type of haunting experiences like these.

>>9665765
These things even happen when you're not alone. Had to shield my friends off multiple times because some people thought that girls don't mind having a picture of their arse.

>>9665797
Atleast then you're not in extreme fear of random stalk/rape. People tend to fuck off immediately when groups notice them. Hence why I used largely, i've heard of a couple stories like yours. It's shameless what some weird people do at conventions.

>>9665765
Or just say no the moment you no longer trust the situation, get the fuck away and report it to the staff if it's something serious. Even if someone tries to stop you, you're still at a Dutch convention which means you are surrounded by tons of people at all times. All it takes is an angry or panicked scream to get help if you need it, which you probably won't anyway. There's a reason we often talk about the same few creeps in the community, because they're the only ones we got after all these years and they're all banned for life. Honestly I feel the odds of something serious happening on your way to work are way higher than when visiting a Dutch con.

>>9665800
>At least then you're not in extreme fear of random stalk/rape
I get not liking it when someone checks you out, catcalls or makes sexual remarks pointed at you. Been there, yes I can really suck that popsicle, get your hand of my crotch right now, #MeToo and such. But believing everyone who checks you out wants to rape you? That's really one unhealthy way to see the world! I do hope this isn't how you actually see the world, but if you do please seek some help with coping whatever trauma caused you to believe in this distorted view of the world. Life's too short to be living it in non-stop fear, especially when that fear is completely uncalled for.

>>9665690
Sorry that happened to you. I've never heard of this guy, but I think you can reasonably assume those pictures are going to be unfindable if they were ever even uploaded in the first place. If you ever feel uncomfortable again, it's good to remember you can say no to pictures and are not obligated to give a reason for refusing.

>>9665844
Its not the actual thing happening, im talking about the fear that it could happen. That shit haunts man. Ofcourse youre safe in a public convention like that. But it doesnt mean this stuff wont follow you to the point youre still looking for answers a year after the con already passed.

>>9666107
That fear is kinda irrational though. Dutch conventions are generally a very safe place. There are always people around and volunteers or even security can often be found within arms reach. It's important to work through that fear and relearn the difference between imagined danger and actual risks.

And before you say 'that's easier said than done': Been there, done that. It takes time, but fear can be overcome. Atleast partly. In my case it took nearly two years to travel by public transportation alone after dark again, but eventually, after doing that exact thing over and over again (with having back-ups in place, like someone picking me up from the station), it's became a lot easier. In the end, living with fear was a lot worse than the thing that happened.

The only times I feel unsafe is walking between the con and hotel when a 'nice guy' wants to walk you back. And I just tell them politely to fuck off. Really if a guy (or girl,) bothers you just report to staff, maybe sneakily take a picture because it's hard to figure out who is who if they are in cosplay.

>>9664701
I like the Set Genki cafe in the Hague. it's a japanese style restaurant/cafe with a Hello Kitty theme. If you can go with a group, you can order the HK High Tea. there are other locations around the county, but I've never been to those.

bigger cities have claire's. in Arnhem there's a really cute cake shop in the Hemelrijk passage if I remember correctly. In Nijmegen there are also a few cupcake and cake shops (on plein 1944).

If you happen to find yourself in Groningen, I would also reccomend Simsalabim, it's one of the very few alternative fashion shops here. it's mostly gothic, but you might find something cute there and the staff is really friendly.

if you fancy bagels, I like to go to Bagels&beans, you can find them in most bigger cities, sometimes a bit hidden in smaller streets. Amazing Oriental is a bigger Ashian grocery store where you can often find some nice snacks and drinks, like pocky and ramune.

>>9666334
Set has kinda dropped in quality over the past year in my experience, but I've never done the high tea stuff so it may be nice.

>>9664701
There's De taarten van mijn Tante in Amsterdam. Really nice shop to just look at, plus it's famous for its really good cakes

So, anyone who went to FACTS?

>>9666399
I did, nobody recognized my crappy cosplay and the weapon check was shit

>>9666446
10/10 review

>>9666334
Set Cafe in the Hague sucks ass now that Neko Neko Ni 'works' there..

>>9666822
Because of the maids? Because I went there once and the food is delicious.

>>9664506
In what way would using those shoes make the spike? If you think away the transparent things, it will just look like nice sandals with a tiny heel.

>>9666399
I did not, but some friends of mine did, they where walking around in star trek cosplay and took a photo with Karl Urban lol

>>9666909
There are ways to work around it. It's about illusions.

>>9666979
B-but...I really can't see it
Oh well, it's still anon's choice and if she wants to use those shoes, she should.

>>9666107
With your reasoning, either learn to say no or learn to live in haunting fear. I'm just being honest my friend. Say no and stop worrying about what your pictures may look like. Lots of people don't see pictures back taken during conventions business card or no business card. If you ever notice a wheelchair following you, it's him.

>>9666909
I think by painting the shape and colour of the spike onto the clear platform? So at least from some angles it'll look similar?

>>9665690
#metoo

>>9667062
you don't have to, as long as anon does.

>>9666901
Definitely because of the maids.

at facts
>see really nice fairy kei girl
>too shy to ask for picture
>few hours later she comes to ask me about my kigu
>still too shy to ask for picture

>>9668200
*insert just do it gif* I regret not taking pictures of people at cons myself so I know how much it sucks.

>>9668255
and what's worse is that most people really don't mind and would even take it as a compliment.....why are we so shy anon....

>>9668300
>Why are we so shy anon
No, Shy Anon is one person and actually a lot less shy than the name implies.

Every time I go shopping I find pieces that could with minor alterations work for cosplay, but end up having 1 or 2 pieces each for 20 cosplays. I often think about not cosplaying characters with casual clothes, but I love being comfy.

>>9663667
looks smooth as fuck

>>9667148
I don't see how the restaurant quality could go down by anything other than the maids and setting of the maidcafe since the menu should stay basically the same.

But cringe aside and that some of the maids aren't good in the head, they're pretty nice gals. Bit awkward. But yeah.

>>9668764
I think they're pretty social and welcoming though, the food isn't bad either, no real complains here, I could go into detail and stuff but why would you desu, it's not really a con or something, it's a fun experience and that's the most important thing.

>>9668740
You should cosplay the thing that makes you feel comfortable in what you're doing, forcing yourself to wear yourself out because of a cosplay isn't the right thing to do unless you enjoy that aspect, also, it's not wrong to wear a 'casual' or 'comfy' cosplay, as long as you're having fun, that's the important thing.

Preparing for the aliexpress sale be like 'gotta buy some wigs and small stuff' calculation says at least 200 euro /ohgodwhy

>>9667122
I kek'd

>>9668316
are you actually implying samefagging here? what would even be the purpose?

>>9669295
sale?????

>>9669317
11/11 watch out for the fake sales though, a lot of stores make their itens more expensive in sept/oct so it looks cheaper but it's the same price as back in august for example. What was that price check app called again?

>>9669307
It's a Discord joke, anon. You wouldn't understand.

>>9669323
AliPrice? You can also download several browser extensions that add a price history on each listing on Ali Express.
Another thing I noticed is how the mobile app blocks certain listings with a mobile discount. Oddly enough you can still add them to your cart from the desktop site and then order them through the app to get the "discount".

Hey guys, a friend and I are looking for a fun anime related convention to attend, and I was hoping people here may have the insights necessary to make a good suggestion. We've been thee conventions before; Facts in Belgium (which sucked) and twice to Dokomi in Germany (which was kind of fun last year, but sucked this year). This time we wanna attend one in the Netherlands (we are both Dutch).

My friend likes it when he can buy lots of shit, and is able to attend events and stuff (meet and greets with voice actors, and that kind of stuff), cosplay is cool too of course.

tl;dr: what is the best anime-related convention in the Netherlands?

>>9668764
The overall dining experience goes down in quality if the people serving you are socially awkward uggos, no matter how good the food is.

>>9669724
Animecon, hands down.

>>9669769
Second that.

>>9669724
Animecon in the Hague is considered to be the best anime convention the Netherlands has to offer. It's a yearly con that takes place in June and the 2018 edition will also mark their 20th anniversary. Aside from the mandatory dealer room they have plenty of workshops and lectures to attend. Some of these events are targetted exclusively at adults which makes or a nice change from the standard stuff you might expect. As far as cosplay goes they host several competitions and international preliminaries so there's a lot of quality stuff to look out for.

Abunai in Veldhoven is considered the second best anime convention and usually takes place at the end of August. Aside from the usual stuff they too offer workshops and panels. The competitions are nothing special however and you will get lost in the hallways there. The location itself is nice and offers plenty of nature but it also makes it hard to obtain a hotel room. The con is known for their "hotel room hunger games" and people feeling "Abunaaid" when they don't get one.

Then you have the other cons. Nishicon in Almelo takes place in February and was kinda meh last year. Then again it was also their first year as a three day con instead of one. Hopefully this year will be better.

DynamicCon in Eindhoven is a one day con in January which will haev their second edition this year. Last year was okay from what I've heard.

Finally TomoCon is considered the worst con of all. Entry is cheap making it interesting for newcomers and youngsters, but you really get what you pay for. Honestly I wouldn't bother with it as your first Dutch Con experience. They also have several TomoFair editions at which as the name implies is more of a market rather than a real convention. You can buy merchandise there, eat weeb food, enjoy their bouncy castle (not joking) and that's about it.

>>9669805
>>9669769
Thank you very much for replying, especially in such detail.

>>9669820
No problem Anon. While you asked for only anime themed conventions we do have a few more small cons as well as three comic cons and two fantasy cons.

Yaycon is a LGBT oriented one day anime event. If you enjoy panels on Yuri on Ice and sexuality this is your place to be. Formula Cosplay is another one day anime event. It's hosted inside a school and that's all you need to know. Then there's Viencon, a new con which is planned to be held at Center Parcs. Not much is known yet on the actual content however but the prices are nice for a 4 day stay imho.

The comic cons are mostly just big dealer rooms with some special guests, a cosplay competition and oversized sponsored stands. Dutch Comic Con in Utrecht tries to include some more content (workshops and lectures) although it's still far from the "Dutch standard". Amsterdam and Rotterdam Comic Con are organised by Showmasters and as such draw in the better special guests. Still, expect to pay €30 or more just to get a picture or an autograph from any guest. Also be on the lookout for bootlegs as the comic cons don't really mind dealers selling them.

The Dutch fantasy fairs are Castlefest and Elfia. Both have two editions a year and most people like them both. If I recall correctly Castlefest has more music stuff where Elfia has more cultural stuff. I don't really go there tho.

Finally you have FirstLook is a gaming event which these days has become just as irrelevant as the blokes from Gamekings and PU who are in charge over it. These last few editions they've tried to lure in cosplayers by promising cosplay content, competitions and such but never really deliver. This year especially was a trainwreck as they had no schedule, no interesting or new games and all cosplay content got cancelled last minute without any explanation. My advice? Avoid it like the plague!

>>9669805
well tomocon isn't the worst con, last time was pretty decent, not great, but decent.
Worst con price goes to terracon...

>>9671397
Not Epiccon?

>>9671397
*Worst still existing con

>>9671397
>>9671440
don't forget "we love japan" and moshi moshi fair!
especially moshi moshi fair where the power went down immediately and stayed down for the whole day!
no, compared to that tomo is pretty decent. but only decent at best.

>>9671444
I suppose We Love Japan has stopped because it was always planned one day before Tsunacon. And we all know what happened with Tsunacon. (For those not knowing: It stopped)
Same with Fan Base Project. But they are all from the same makers as Formula Cosplay Europe. (as said, the same people worked on it)

'Man we are so big we wanna do so many things that we divided it into Epicon summer and Epicon winter we will have everything and be the biggest comic con and game con in the benelux'
Tiny hall in a rundown shipyard convention center in den bosch and winter epicon disappeared. Yeah from the ones i've been to that was definitely the worst.

Lel, minque is back. Good luck with trying to 'win' back your position now that CosplayClues and Cosplayshop.be have a wider range of products, more expertise and customers.

>>9671679
To be fair I feel like most of the customers Minque had were people who didn't knew about any of the other stores. Minque used to sponsor/host workshops at nearly every con bringing in all the newcomers to their store. The same also goes for the cosplayers they sponsored who would post tutorials and tell their fans how everything was bought at Minque. Combine that with the "renaming scheme" to make common items look store exclusive and they were set. I mean just look back at the message in which they announced they would quit. So many people were sad to see them go and had no idea where to buy their supplies now.

Oh well, judging by their own comments they're back with a new team. Perhaps this time around orders won't be mysteriously postponed for several weeks without bothering letting your customers know about it.

>>9671679
>>9671702
They better have a real good business plan ready to substitute for this strange immediate come-back.

>>9671711
1) Use whatever is left of our brand awareness and whole seller contacts to continue business as usual.
2) Sponsor some well known and/or promising cosplayers who can help putting us on the map again.
3) Have said cosplayers host workshops and release tutorials in which they have to refer everyone to us for the crafting supplies.
4) Get loads of money from newcomers to the cosplay scene who simply don't know any better.
5) Invest some of our profits into improving the quality of our service and offer more (exclusive) items to keep customers happy and become a one-stop shop for everything.

At first I was joking, but honestly this doesn't even sound like that bad of a plan.

>>9671702
>>9671711
They have a point reward scheme this time. I hope they'll just normal names for their products now. But I highly doubt it.

I have two WIP's to post by the way. Yara Greyjoy needs some adjustments, and then it's on to studs, weathering, waxing and dumping it in the sea nearby. However, she'll be on the backburner starting tomorrow, as I'll get my foam in, and so I can continue on the Nethergundam!

Note: Sewing is not my forte, and I'm quite happy with my improvements.

>>9671748
And preparations for a faraway project as well as 'kits to sell' have started. I can't sell the 'eye' but I can send kits. All I'd ask is shipping. However, it's still a WIP so no releasedate yet. (I think I'm going to nag my uni to see if they may have some silicon left after the 1st years have done unit 3 so I can cast it.)

>>9671729
>I hope they'll just normal names for their products now
I doubt it, but I can understand the reasoning behind it. Like I said Minque used to sponsor a lot of (entry level) workshops and cosplayers who make (simple) tutorials using their items. Generally the audience for these workshops and tutorials are newcomers to the scene and crafting who have no idea on what to use or where to get it. By continuously referring to materials as DuraFoam or DuraCoil people will remember these items as such, and not by their common names EVA foam or contact glue.
One these people are motivated from a workshop/tutorial to start crafting themselves odds are they will either go directly to Minque or google the material names. Of course with them being the only ones selling these supplies under this name only their store will pop up.

Honestly it's just clever marketing. You slap a buzzword name on something to make people think only of your store, hide the fact that's a common item and easily bought for less elsewhere, and maybe raise the price a bit for some some easy money. Also it's not just Minque who does this, CosplayClues pulls the same stunt with their CLUEYfoam (standard EVA foam), CLUEYfixx (basic contact glue) and CLUEYprime (literally one part white wood glue mixed with one part tap water).

>>9671748
still a nice job!

>>9671760
It's crooked on the mannequin. It looks better on me. Or I am just crooked? Hmm....

>>9671727
sounds about right, but i believe cosplayclues grabbed a lot of these naive customers already

>>9671753
Prettyyy

>>9671425
Nah Terracon was worse, at least at Epicon they had some ideas about the audience but completely underestimated the organisation that is needed to produce a decent con that is on par with a average comiccon. And they where a long way away from Abunai or Animecon.

Terracon on the other hand had no idea what they where up to, mixing two completely different audiences was probably the worst idea ever. They closed their joke of a convention hours before it was supposed to close. Because almost nobody showed up...

>>9671784
But that's the beauty Anon, there's always a steady stream of new and naive customers in the Dutch community. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the new owners are already planning on hosting a workshop or two at cheap events such as DynamicCon and TomoCon/TomoFair before hitting the big cons again.

>>9671805
Wasn't terra con the one with pets?

I'm so confused. How is it that Team Chaos gets to be guest at so many events? Even with their reputation.. They just announced another one in Spain

>>9672227
Probably due to a mixture between self advertising, networking at events and a few lucky mentions by Blizzard for their Overwatch stuff.

>>9672227
simple anon. win international cosplay contest, mingle with th organizations and require little to no compensation.

>>9671768
I think the problem is the lacing, that's why it's crooked. you could add an horizontal strip of fabric on the inside at the top and waist with a closure (buttons or clasps) so the weight of the pieces won't shift. (that's why there are buttons on the inside of double breasted coats)

>>9672229
>>9672232
Honestly... That's so disappointing.

>>9672252
What, you expecting drama instead of sober answers?

>>9672238
It's also because I had to eh...manually change the mannequin a little and it keeps shifting. But on myself it looks fine. That's what matters in the end.

>>9672252
>>9672263
I think anon meant that it's so easy to get yourself 'invited' to a con. Or rather, invite yourself if you're good at networking.

>>9663667
Those are some good looking horns damn

>>9672311
Thanks! More progress to post soon since my printer fan was broken this week I couldn't do much.

>>9672263
>>9672265
Same anon here. That's what I meant, yes. It's disapointing that it takes such little to become a guest at an event.
Don't assume every single question on here is out for drama.

>>9672321
IT'S ALIVE
My first powered articulating wing frame prototype is working!
Next step, fastening everthing, making the other wing and making the back frame.

When people start talking about team chaos i am like....

>>9672427
Nice! It looks better than my miscalculated weird tart of a windmill at the moment. I'll fix it, no problem, but it's a bit of a bummer when calculations don't work out. Damn you dyscalculia!

>>9672509
Funny, this is what I'm like.

>>9672509
Hi Arian!

>>9672511
Added the fin for the 'idea'. I feel so silly but I love it.

>>9673151
I love you so much for actually doing this.

>>9673332
All love declarations can be sent to the props department.

What is the room check like during animecon, can you stuff a third person in it or should I ask the hotel?

>>9673384
Most hotels around animecon, if you ask, will happily help you supply a 3rd bed. Usually it's a foldable one or something like it, but I know it's done in Novotel. Probably also the Mariott.

>>9673384
>room check
Is this a thing with big cons?
Oh and lots of hotels have roll-away beds that they can bring into you room, and some rooms can have couches that fold out.

>>9673443
Yes it's a thing, but not in the sense of let's check all rooms for no reason whatsoever. Room checks mostly happen after housekeeping noticed inflatable beds or an excessive amount of bags, or after the reception received noise complaints. The Koningshof did a (full) sweep last year iirc, although I wouldn't be surprised if they did so after they catching too many unregistered guests. I can't say I blame them really, fire and safety regulations are not to be taken lightly if you don't want your hotel to be shut down.

>>9672509
And that's exactly why Team Chaos has a bad name. But thanks for adding to that and proving that people are right to think that way my friend.

>>9672419
That is how it preatty much has always been. Actually it's better now that you have cons actually inviting un partial judges. TCC is doing what every cosplayer should do that wants a chace to a. get invited to other cons and b. get sponsored. Networking.

>>9673384
I have never heard of room checks at animecon, abunai did have a sweep last year though.
Also We have always had extra people in the room, all we do is walk over to the front desk and inform them about it. Usually they ask a small fee for towls and maybe an extra breakfast. Never had issues.

Slight update to my wing frame, i'm now adding the fingers (they'll be demon wings). I don't want them pulled by a string so i designed another joint system so they get pulled together with the frame.
It also looks a bit more like an actual wing now! (note video is 2x speed i'm tired of this slow ass actuator its 5mm/s so i might return this and get a faster one)

All aboard the Nethergundam hypetrain!

>>9672419
I find it very funny how people talk so easy about. "It being easy to get invited"

I don't see you doing it. Honestly I don't judge TCC I don't particularly care much for them but can't deny that whatever it is that they are doing is working.

I mean yes in the Netherlands we have a lot of amazing cosplayers of which I personally believe that they should be invited to cons however tcc has a very strong online presence which a lot of people are missing.

So instead of complaining maybe step up your game on social media and show everyone how easy it is?

>>9674658
Nice try on the call out. But isn't Kimu cosplay already showing everyone how easy it is?
Currntly at 30+k followers, getting invites outside of the Netherlands and doing MUCH better on funding than TCC members added together. The fact that some people like to sleaze their way into success doesn't mean everyone likes to do it tha same way. You know Trump has a lot of success too right, doesn't automatically means he deserves respect or people want to do things the same as him.

>>9674689
Yet nobody in the netherlands think she's something special. I'd rather be well known for having awesome costumes than photoshopping myself into a kawaii uguu asian.

>>9674658
>>9674689
>>9674800
I'm just happily practicing my hobby without trying to become 'cosfamous'. Saves me stress about having to post on time and countless of deadlines.

Viencon started selling. Anyone ordered their cottage yet?

>>9674948
Not yet, I still need to figure out if I can have those days off from work, plus still need to find people to share it with.

>>9674948
I haven't even bothered asking around to see if people are interested yet. It's pretty hard to talk people into going when there isn't any real content known yet you know.

By the way, how do I get to sleep? Please let me sleep!

>>9675008
No idea. I have no sleep either, strangely enough. And I'm usually in bed by 11-12pm.

>>9674689
30k is nothing special. Just put your money into (fake) Indian and Vietnamese likes like she did and easy likes. Remember when FB did a fake account sweep and she lost 5k followers? Nothing special about it.

>>9674689
>>9674800
Isn't she just sponsored by thristy foreign neckbeards?

>>9675289
Basically

>>9674829
>t. denial

>>9675324
It's true. I don't want my hobby to become my profession? That's the fastlane into making your hobby no longer fun.

>>9675332
Says the one who has a Patreon. Of all things that will make cosplay a stressfull 'hobby', it's by having a Patreon for it.

>>9675368
Wait, Prop Anon launched her Patreon? Why didn't anyone tell me? I want access to those Patreon exclusive Nethergundam lewds!

>>9675368
>>9675383
This is news to me.

>>9675383
>>9675399
I meant Kimu

>>9675440
I know, but you assumed that >>9674829 and >>9675332 were Kimu. But all of that was me. What did we learn about assuming about people's identity today?

No harm done though.

>>9672509

kys arjan

>>9672509
Stop trying to make Team Chaos relevant you mongoloid.

>>9675332
Cosplay is about attention so anyone saying they don't care about fans or being invited to things is blatantly lying. If you didn't want attention you'd be in a different hobby.

>>9675451
Well.. In a way, yes. But there's a difference between getting that attention by just attending the con and competing, or actively promoting yourself through social media & patreon.

Yeah I love the attention I get when I'm in a good costume and I'm on stage. But I don't really feel the need to be extremely active with social media and get as many likes as possible. It's a personal matter imo and it varies a lot per person.

>>9675451
>Cosplay is about attention so anyone saying they don't care about fans or being invited to things is blatantly lying.
Boy am I glad I'm able to actually enjoy things and have fun in life without turning everything into some competitive attention contest...

>>9675228
Too common nowadays. Some are just too stupid to realize that you can see whether it's bought likes or not. Why bother buying 7k likes for one post if you only have 1k likes on your page.

>>9675451
There's a difference between attention and fame. Plenty of people enjoy just recieving compliments for cosplaying their favourite character well, giving crafting/sewing advice to fellow fans, and so on. That's vastly different from the people who seek some sort of fame and do everything they can to put themselves in the spotlight.

>>9675451
Fun is just a buzzword. We're all in this hobby for the attention, not because we enjoy the crafting, sharing of ideas and meeting people who will go to great lengths to show their fanaticism towards a hobby and series.

>>9675641
Exactly. And /because/ it's so common is the reason why I said it's nothing special that she has that amount of likes. Anyone can buy them nowadays.

>>9675759
Dude speak for yourself.

>>9675759
Most cosplayers I know don’t craft, they buy their costumes.

>>9675778
I guess its fake it until you make it, I would like to see facebook do another fake profile swipe and what happens after.

New paintjob, completely new build structure and new horns for my warglaives! The horns will get a paintjob that will make it more diffuse and more gradual, this is still raw.

>>9674689
Not everyone wants to go the Kim way of being a patreon costhot with the lack of good costumes being compensated for with terrible azn shoop. Yes she gets invited to things but as soon as she shows up it's obvious how much different she looks irl and how bad her costumes look. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to be a less popular cosplayer with very good quality cosplays?

>>9676571
>as soon as she shows up it's obvious how much different she looks irl and how bad her costumes look
You'd think that the people who invite her would catch on to this and she'd stop being invited. Are people that dumb and gullible?

>>9676579
>Are people that dumb and gullible?
Is this a rhetorical question? Of course they are! Pop music, pictures of models, fucking burger commercials, all of these things are altered and yet we keep falling for them. Who cares if an artist's can't actually sing live, if a model doesn't look perfect or of the burger you're eating looks nothing like the picture? Nobody!
Even in cosplay there's a business side to these things that separates the hobbyists from the professionals. Big names didn't just got big overnight, they played their cards right, had some luck and continued to please their fans afterwards. They work hard on building a reputation (overall reputation, not gull reputation) and network like crazy in order to get invited to cons which often means advertising said con to their followers. Why else do you think you keep seeing the same 'big names' invited everywhere instead of random nobodies with good costumes?
There's a reason some people dont want to go through all this trouble just to get cosfamous. It sucks the fun out of things, especially when PR/self-marketing doesn't come as first nature to you.

>>9676571
What is she even getting invited to? From the other cosplayers pages they promote the event they attend heavily, or mention it at least once. Haven't seen any post about a convention or special event.

>>9676635
I believe she was one of the judges at Formula cosplay? Not too sure it's hard to tell these 'cosplayers' apart. Whoever it was it looked like shit with plastic batwings from some random halloween assortment. As a judge, lol.

>>9676643
No, that was some invited (foreign) guest cosplayer.

>>9676643
That was Lei Sakuragi

What's with the amount of kids creating a cosplay page while they don't even make their own cosplays lately anyways?

Bonus points if they have a patreon because they can't afford their shitty taobao cosplays. :^)

>>9676664
Slightly related

>practise hobby
>it's so expensive
>pls gib money

hobbies are meant to spend money on, not to justify guilting people around you to give money to spend on things you like.
I literally saw people complain that others didn't buy their prints/patreon or whatever to fund their hobby. What.

>>9676664
I don't mind people not making their own cosplays. I don't, but I really want to - just have no time for it RN, just making my own props till the best of my abilities. I agree though, some people are just /moneyhungry/ I guess, saw one chick making a page, immediatly creating patreon and also immediatly sharing her bhiner wishlist, expecting people would buy cosplays for her :'] are you shiting on my RN.

I get so frustrated by all these fake cosplayers only cosplaying for fame and likes. Please, just cosplay what you like and don't jump on a bandwagon because it is popular.

>>9677046
Cool blog bro. liked and subscribed, following you on Insta and supporting you on Patreon.

>>9677046
Tbh i like cosplaying recognizable and sometimes popular characters because cosplaying something obscure usually doesn't get the same type of attention and thus not the same satisfaction. And if I like it hell yeah it's on my list.

My prototype works! HYPE

>>9677114
But the more obscure characters tend to get the better reactions, because it's mostly fellow fans that will recognise you. They'll tell you you have awesome taste, that's it's really cool you cosplayed that one character, you'll both fangirl/boy a bit and everything is right in the world for just one moment. Plus, if you cosplay something popular, you're bound to be compared to whoever else cosplays that character, and people will talk shit about you just for not being the best one.

>>9677201
Looking good smoke!

cosplay progress anon, looks good!

and about kim, at this point it's talking in circles. her csplays are bad and bought. she's photoshopped to hell and back and does not deserve her likes but you know. her close friends called her out long ago. drama has been made long ago. she only has internet friends and guys like wes appel as friends. she keeps doing it and indonesian men support her hobby so it doesn't matter. just treat her as misa nl cosplayer and don't give her more attention than she deserves

>>9676675
I haven't made a cosplay myself either and I've been cosplaying for 6 years. Got enough money to fund my own hobby but suck having next to no spare time.

>>9677201
Nice!

>>9677337
i dont have time either since my actual life is a bigger priority than a hobby

>>9677327
havent seen kimu cosplayer IRL, im kinda curious how she will look like close up but i probably wont be attending any con till animecon

>>9677201
Not bad, kid

>>9677348
It's so funny to me when people who make their cosplays think they're better than those of us who buy them. Like congrats you don't have a job or anything else better to do I guess?

>>9677392
Just type in her name on Facebook, go to photos and you'll see some unedited pictures in there.

Well, R.I.P. Momokun her Twitter got suspended...

>>9677981
Good riddance

>>9677938
couldnt find much honestly, besides the occasional weird eye squinting

All those cosplayers promoting theirselves through the art of cosplay kek

>>9677996
How, exactly? Isn't that just another share page?

>>9678027
Cosplayers can send their cosplay pictures to their private inbox to have it posted on the page

>>9661766
Guys speaks english and other languages.

>>9678092
Most Dutch people claim to speak English. However, they forget to mention at what level. Same for other languages. This statement does not prove anything.

>defending yourself or others on 4chan does not work. I recommend you to ignore these subjects in the future

>>9678092
So I speak multiple languages fluently Including Spanish which is his native language and even in Spanish he sounds like a Potato.

If you wanted a workshop or lecture at Animecon, what would you want?
I'm trying to think of things. I have one idea but it's not certain yet. Hence why I ask your input.

>>9678421
Facecasting would be nice, or perhaps a lecture on props or something?

>>9678455
See lifecasting/facecasting is the one I've already proposed and it's a possibility. I just want to have backup plans.

If I were to give a lecture on props, what would you want to learn about them? Or do you want me to go and dissect certain scenes from films and explain 'how it's done'?

>>9678421
I dont know who you are, but please only give lectures and workshops about things you have knowledge of and have experience with. Also try to make it at least a bit interactive.

>>9678471
If I give a lecture or workshop, it's definitely something I've got knowledge and experience with. As in; actually graduated and certified to do this.

>>9678469
As something more than just 'doing it' it would be nice to have a lecture on different examples of props. How you go about them when analyzing them, what materials you choose and why, how different constructions are put together (both big and smaller prop choices). And what type you use for priming, what choices there are, the differences between them. Maybe something about paint, what effects you can achieve with them and in what situations you would use drybrushing/airbrushing/metallic paints or even pigments.
And please, emphasize how important ratios and patterns are.

>>9678523
So 'the basics of prop-construction'? But would you want it cosplay tailored or film/theatre tailored?

I've given a lecture 2 years ago about the difference between cosplay props & film props and how the industry is different from cosplaying, yet similar. Something like that again, but deeper into construction?

>>9678555
I think people on cons wouldn't be interested in movie productions, its out of their range and interest.
I see so many poorly constructed props that it would be nice to stamp some DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH into these people.

>>9678591
Can you give me an example? Then I know what ballpark I'm in.

>>9678469
How to scale weapons/armor/props would be great.

>>9678673


Scale as in sizing or as in scales?

>>9678673
>>9678678
Pretty sure anon means stuff like this

>>9678699
Other anon here,
And also stuff like character is X tall weapon is about X big relative to length of character, Cosplayer is Y tall so weapon should be Y cm for cosplayer.

>>9679713
Well yes, that's exactly what I'm doing on that picture. Maybe I can do a lecture AND a workshop....

>>9677392
even if you do attend the same con, there is a big chance you woudn't recognize her.

>>9679735
that'll be fun, wonder if her big fans will recognize her.

Any thermoplastic flexible enough to make lower leg armor that goes nearly all the way around? I've been playing with some regular worbla and foam (single layer) and it breaks after trying on my bracer three times. Also is plastidip the way to go for flexible armor? I happen to have a nice shop closeby.

>>9680125
5mm foam don't work for you? And yes, for heavy movement always plastidip imho.

>>9680125
I'm currently working with flexipaint, which is nice and durable. Not sure how much shipping to NL would be though. Plastidip is great, but expensive.

[Turning on the Nethergundam]
[Beeping noise]

>>9680603
Thanks! turns out the belgians (cosplay shop select style) have it as well, so I can avoid the 15 pound shipping cost. I stupidly enough decided to join a group cosplay which involves making armor.

>>9680603
Before I forget to ask, do you use silicon oil as well, or just regular silicon spray work? Still have a can laying around.

>>9681034
You only need it when you use /just/ the flexipaint. I use it and mix it with my own acrylics. Then I don't need to use the silicon oil, as the acrylics dry normally.

>Dutch Thread: "Alcoholic Tulips" Edition

>>9682003
LEWD UPSKIRT DELET

I suddenly got a brainfart telling me how cute I'd be for somebody to knit a virgin killer sweater for Tully.

>>9665523
As someone that did classical ballet, let me tell you that it's very dangerous to stand on pointe without training and toe covers. Always disliked these shoes, because of my fear that it will attract stupid people breaking their toes over it. That, and they just look ugly imo.

>>9682332
Not only do I support this, but I kinda want to see this happen. If anyone feels up for a challenge, here is Tully's dress flattened out on a 1x1cm grid. I've already scaled the pictures so their grids match for easier patterning or whatever people use when they knit. I'm already glad I know how to sew the buttons on my coat back on...

So anyone planning on going to DCC next week? Any events you're looking forward to or will you all just skip DCC?

>>9679735
she's going to some cosplay event in the phillipines (wow, the shittiest place in asia but sure) and she's been saying she'll stop going dutch conventions for years UNLESSSSSSSS she's a guest or if she has a collaboration
reality check pls kimu no one cares about you in nl, stay in the phillipines and scam people for money for plastic surgery there. byee

>>9684970
I didn't know her face was that extreme to need surgery.

>>9684970
>wow, the shittiest place in asia but sure
Well having an ill-mannered president like Duterte sure is shitty, but other than that, where do you base this on?

>>9683019
i'm not dutch, but hopping in 'cuz Tully is adorable--where can a foreigner like me buy a plush of her? is there an online storefront i'm missing?

>>9684970
She said that she won't go to anymore Dutch cons ever since 2015 or something. Yet, she's still visiting... Ofcourse none of the Dutch cons will invite her as a guest, they all know what's up.

>>9684826
I'm skipping. I hated DXC last year.

>>9684970
Where she has to pay here own plane ticket and hotel. She has a go fundme thingy for the trip.
I don't call that being invited.

>>9684970

Take your vendetta somewhere else xiuemi

>>9685269
Huis Ten Bosch has a Japan only webshop, but most items such as the Tully plushies and pillows are park exclusive. They do have a few Tully items on it such as these cute mini towels tho. Here's a link to the webshop and the search I used http://ec.shop-huistenbosch.jp/products/list.php?transactionid=07cec38c99c587a70343642b70c23d21f7dac03d&mode=search&name=ちゅーりー

As for where I got my plushies, I got them second hand from Yahoo Auctions JP. It was a listing for 4 Tully plushies and 2 bears and I spend a total of €55 on the listing, shipping, forwarding agency and customs fees. I regret nothing!

Seeing what they have announced already so far, i doubt it will be the same as last year. I mean the guest alone (including cosplay guests) are already much better than last year.

>>9685497
There are a lot of people with vendetta against Kimu cosplay. Why assume it is xiuemi? Last time I checked they were friendly to eachother

>>9685617
They assume it's her because they want to cause drama/potential hate.
I also saw them being friendly, so probably just people trying to stir a non-existing pot.

>>9685596
I'm actually a bit annoyed that I can't even go because Lena Heady is amazing.

>This is getting disturbing.
If you find tulip plushies disturbing you really should check out this thing called cosplay. Those weirdos actually put on silly clothes to prance around in public where they'll beg people to take pictures of them. I shit you not, there even are contests for this stuff where the person in the least disturbing outfit gets to take home a price!

>>9685436
The other guests that are invited aren't that impressive either imo... I looked at their pages but they don't have much quality content, unless you call food pictures taken with a blurry camera high quality.

>>9685445
Same, but apparently she'll shoot but only have a 1 time meet in a cafe with around 100 spots for fans.

>We literally call your country Holland in my language
Are you Portuguese?
>>9665414
>The Japanese call our country "Oranda" btw
Which comes from the Portuguese word "Hollanda", so blame them for teaching it wrongly to the Japanese.

Then again, the person that basically taught it wrongly to Portugal and perhaps some other countries was in fact Napoleon himself as mentioned. So blame that fucker for causing a confusion that still lasts today.

your enthusiasm is super cute, thanks for the help anon! i'm going to keep my eye on Y!J. i love this anthropomorphic tulip.

>>9685710
Suuure

>>9685710
I wouldn't call a meet a cosplay event, but okay. It is cool for those fans of her.

>>9685735
me neither, but its cool for her fans i guess. would be a bummer if no one showed up though

>>9685880
True

>>9685042
not that anon, that anon needs to talk some things out with Kimu I think...
But Kimu is not ugly, but more like an average white girl? But when you photoshop yourself so extreem, I can understand a lot of people are going to be dissapointed in the Phillipines.

>>9685617
Huh. Last thing I heard was that they weren't on good terms with each other because kimu didn't want to photoshop xiuemi or something. Did they make up with each other again??

Anyone going to Tomofair Amsterdam? Would love to meet up with gulls there.

>>9686093
Not unless I manage to get a free ticket. Vote with your wallet and all that stuff.

What's the point of having a speeddate 4 times a day?

>>9686127
Because they want to keep the groups small and always manage to fill all seats. If anything it's good they do it like that. You really don't want speed dating to take forever or feature so many people you can't even remember half of them. Even if you're just attending to meet new people.

>>9686067
from the stories I heard it was the other way around, wasnt xiuemis boyfriend a photographer? why would xiuemi need kimu to photoshop if she has a editor right next to her???

>>9686039
I C, I C, so basically its like a girl who usually wears a lot of makeup and finally takes everything off, exept here she just makes everyone think she looks like that IRL, becaus I've seen her mentioning a lot of times saying she never edits her selfies

>>9686067
>>9686189
Xiuemi' s bf was the photographer, yes. But kimu wanted all the raws to edit herself. She uploaded those without credits on some weird ass page while saying to xiuemi that she never finished the pics, resulting her not able to upload anything onto hers. But last thing I heard is that they somewhat made up and don't hold a grudge against each other anymore

>>9686361
Even a blind person can see she edits them a shitload

>>9685691
Didn't know irony was a thing here.

>>9686807
True, putting a massive blur over it till the point you cant even see her lips or nose anymore doesnt count as editing i guess
